@hist78 For the record, Dalian was sold to SK and Hudson has been closed for a number of years (former Digital factory - 200 mm).
@Daniel Nenni Agree 100%.
Do not take this seriously. In recent weeks, there was an announcement about intel Germany and another one about intel Italy. Both had to do with getting government money to pay for new fabs. intel is shopping for a deal is all, CHIPS act notwithstanding. I question the need for another factory - I mean they could buy GF instead if you get right down to it (forgetting about GF's shortcomings for now). In terms of where to build a new complex, one needs water, clean power (if you are forward thinking), labor that is either static or abundant but lightfooted and a good OEM infrastructure. Thinking here NYS (specifically Rochester NY with infinite water and power - labor?), Waco TX (not sure about water availability with new SAS), OR/WA (I mean they are already there).
Don't forget Foxconn WI.
